Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 101: It’s not good to see blood at the opening today
Each piece has a unique shape, and some are inlaid with tiny gemstones, which are eye-catching.
The waiters on the first floor were already very busy. Many customers wanted to try on the jewelry, and once they put it on, they didn't want to take it off, so they went straight to find the shopkeeper Lu to pay.
Compared to the bustle of the first floor, there are fewer people on the second floor, but the clothes they wear are of a higher grade.
Seeing that the store was overwhelmed with activity, Bailing stepped forward to help: "Madam, if you like anything, please take it out and try it on."
"This looks like a painting. If I try it on, it might affect its beauty." A lady took a fancy to a hairpin.
But this tree full of white pear blossoms is pleasing to the eye, and she really can't bear to destroy it.
"Auntie, there's a surprise downstairs!" Juanjuan ran over at some point and winked at them mischievously.
The lady looked at the little girl next to her with a smile on her face: "Are you telling the truth?"
Juanjuan nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes. Sister Bailing, please bring some beautiful flowers to this aunt."
Bailing nodded and took out the hairpin that the lady liked from the cabinet and handed it to her.
The lady took the hairpin and saw the green color underneath, which looked like new leaves on a tree. She smiled immediately and said, "What a clever idea!"
Madam Qian and her family also came today, but they didn't bring their children with them: "Mrs. Luo, you are here too."
"Yes! I saw this white jade hairpin, but I didn't expect that there was another surprise on this jewelry plate." Mrs. Luo said, pointing to the exposed green.
"Hey! These look like newly grown leaves." Old Madam Zhang's eyes were full of surprise.
"Yeah! I thought taking the hairpin would ruin it, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise."
Mrs. Luo looked at the two of them with a smile: "If you have anything you like, you can try it. You may find a surprise."
When Mrs. Qian saw their display just now, she wanted to complain. It looked like an ornament and she felt embarrassed to let the customers try it on.
But now I realize that it is not the case, so I turn around and pick the one I like.
Liu Yueya's face was still cold, but she was particularly eloquent when dealing with guests.
I also helped sell a lot of jewelry.
Si Tian looked at Liu Chengan, who seemed to have lost weight, and said, "Your daughter is quite capable in business."
"Don't you see whose daughter she is?" Liu Cheng'an was still quite proud.
"I was wondering who bought this Cuiyu Tower. It turns out to be the second master of the Si family!" Many young people came up the stairs.
They were all wearing suits, and the women next to them were also wearing Western dresses, looking very fashionable.
"I didn't expect that you, Mr. Hu, would come to Cuiyu Tower." Si Tian looked at him and smiled faintly.
"If I had known it was your business, I should have called more people, so that you wouldn't be alone in the future and not have enough money for your retirement." Hu Youlin had a sarcastic look on his face.
"That's better than you, a guy who only knows how to rely on his parents. You act like a big shot here just because I have some money." Liu Cheng'an has always had a sharp tongue.
"Who did I think it was? Isn't this the fat guy from the Liu family?"
"What? The Liu family is down, so you're here to be a dog for the Si family?"
"That's right. If you don't work as a dog for the Si family, I'm afraid they won't be able to support your fat body."
"But it's okay. You still have your wife. Just let her continue to sing and make a living."
"Her figure and appearance are quite to my liking. Let me know when you go there, and I'll take care of the business."
Hu Youlin said, looking at his friends beside him: "I will take them with me when the time comes. I will definitely not let you starve to death."
The people behind him laughed wildly when they heard it.
Liu Chengan was about to go up and beat him up when he heard this, but was stopped by Lin Jingqiu: "The second master's new store is opening today, and they said I won't lose a single piece of meat."
Shen Congyin, who was standing next to him, hugged Hu Youlin's arm with a sweet smile on her face. "If I had known that this shop was owned by Mr. Si, I would have brought Xiao Yuan here. It just so happens that she is disabled now."
"She could be a good match with Second Master Si. She used to like Second Master very much, but unfortunately, she no longer cares about him now that he's disabled."
"But you don't have to be sad now, Second Master. She's just like you now. She was crippled by the chandelier, and her fiancé ran away. Now she's in a wheelchair just like you."
"That's perfect! If we become a couple, neither of you will dislike the other!"
Hu Youlin laughed even louder: "Yes, yes, how could you forget her? Back then, she was the one who went wherever you went."
Although Juanjuan didn't quite understand what they were saying, she knew from their expressions that it wasn't a good thing: "Go away and don't bully my second uncle."
"I thought you were someone else, but you're just a cheap girl bought by the Si family. Others can't touch me, and neither can you?" After saying this, Hu Youlin was about to reach out to push Juanjuan.
Si Jinchen, Liu Yueya and Ma Yang all stood in front of Juanjuan: "You are not welcome here."
"Click!" Several guns were pointed at Hu Youlin's head.
"When will it be your turn to talk about my brother and daughter?" Siming came at some point and pointed a gun at Hu Youlin's head.
As soon as Hu Youlin saw him, he said, "General Si, if you dare to touch me, I'm afraid you may not get the position you want."
Although he was afraid, he was also confident.
Juanjuan ran to Sitian's side and held him in her arms: "They are the disabled ones, not Juanjuan's second uncle."
"Uncle, don't be angry, don't be angry." She said while patting his back.
Si Tian had long been accustomed to such words. If it weren't for wanting to attract attention, he would have long since stopped using a wheelchair.
Feeling the warmth of the little person in his arms, a smile appeared on his face: "Brother, it's not good to see blood when opening the business today."
Si Ming turned to look at Si Tian, retracted the gun in his hand, and kicked Hu Youlin and the others down the stairs: "You are lucky today.
"But remember, it's not because of your father, but because I don't want my daughter to see blood and pollute her eyes."
Juanjuan ran over to hug Liu Yueya, who was so angry that she wanted to beat someone up, but Lin Jingqiu was holding her and not letting her go.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Bad guys won't have a good end!" She gently comforted Liu Yueya while patting her back.
Lin Jingqiu felt uncomfortable. Her identity had caused Liu Cheng'an and Liu Yueya to suffer such humiliation many times.
"It has nothing to do with you, don't take it to heart." Liu Cheng'an held her hand.
Hu Youlin climbed up from the ground, holding his injured body and yelling to the people upstairs: "Si Ming, you are the only one who has the final say in Beiyang City. Let's wait and see."
Siming put his hand on the holster and resisted the urge to draw his gun and kill him again. Today was indeed not a suitable day for killing, and he didn't want to scare the children.
He can only let a few people leave temporarily, but he will settle the score with them slowly.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"ah!"
“Help!”
There was a noise coming from not far away from Cuiyu Tower, which made many people look in that direction.
Si Ming asked Adjutant Qi to go and take a look, and he walked to Si Tian's side: "Are you okay?"
"What could be the big deal? It's just a few words, nothing serious." Si Tian shrugged indifferently.
When Adjutant Qi came back, there was a strange expression on his face.
"General." He couldn't help laughing again after he said that.
"What happened?" Siming looked at him with confusion on his face.
"Hahahaha! Let me laugh for a while first!" Adjutant Qi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This made the group of people around him look at him as if he were a fool.
"If you don't tell me, I'll ask you to go back and clean the toilets in the military camp." Siming wanted to kick him now.
